2016-2017 Graduate

Master’s Degree Program Admission

Each applicant to a master's degree program must:

  1. possess a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university
  2. have a grade point average of 3.00 or better [on a 4.00 point scale] on the most recent 60 semester hours

If a program recommends an applicant for admission who does not meet the Graduate School standards, they must provide specific provisions and a rationale must be provided stating the factors which were considered in recommending the student: GPA in the discipline, maturity, letters of recommendation, samples of their work, GRE scores or other compelling factors. All recommendations for admission for applicants with a GPA below the 3.00 will be reviewed by the Graduate Dean or his/her designee.
